FAA and European certification will not be for another 2 years after that, which will not be too much of a problem as the 200+ orders are 95% for Chinese airlines (surprise surprise). As I have said elsewhere there is a difference between building an aeroplane and getting it into service. reply | |
| | Soccer Shoes, e-mail, 04.11.2011 21:42 ARJ21 Xiangfeng is proud of China, we can do better. reply | | Adil Ali, e-mail, 12.02.2011 06:11 Looks like the MD90 /DC-9 to me from the specs and speeds! Then again, which technology is really indigenous to China- even Chinese cars are Japanese and Korean rip offs. reply | | Pieter Waters, 08.02.2011 21:31 This airplane was built using the jigs and tooling provided by McDonnell-Douglas for the licensed construction of the MD-90 in China. It has the same fuselage cross-section, nose and tail. COMAC claims that this is the first jet designed by the Chinese with completely independent IP rights. This is, of course, hogwash. reply | | Nwana, e-mail, 22.01.2011 13:33 It's a further development of the Boeing 717 reply | | jon, 30.10.2010 17:59 nice aircraft reply | | Kenny, e-mail, 06.10.2010 00:41 Is this a DC-9? reply |
